Agagu’s family insists on goingahead with his burialtoday

Despite the great tragedy that occurred
yesterday, where the plane carrying
Agagu's corpse crashed and killed 15
people, members of the late governor's
family have insisted that they will go
ahead with his burial. The Chairman of
Ondo State PDP, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi,
made  this  known yesterday.
“We have just consulted with the
family and it has been decided
that they would go ahead with
the burial. This is more so that
his  son, and son-in-law survived
the crash. We are also aware that
the casket bearing Agagu’s  body
was not affected by the crash.
While we  sympathise with the
families of those who lost their
loved ones in the crash, we  will
go ahead with the burial.” He said
Agagu will be buried today at his home
town in Iju-Odo, Okitipupa LGA of Ondo
state. St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Iju-
Odo has been and renovated for the
burial service while major roads leading
into the town had been rehabilitated.
The  grave where Agagu will be buried
in the church cemetery has also been
decorated to give him a befitting
farewell, News Agency of Nigeria
